LAMP.

Specication of Letters Patent No. 30,104, dated September 18, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HAZEN J. BATCHELDER, of Marlboro, in the county ofMiddlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Lamps; and I do hereby declare such to be fully describedin the following specification and represented in the accompanyingdrawings, of which- Figure l, is a side view, and Fig. 2, a verticalsection of a lamp provided with my invention. Fig. 3, is a perspectiveview of the reflector as separated from the lamp.

My improvement has reference to the application of a reflector to a lampand consists in applying such reflector directly to the cap of the lampand confining it in place therein by means of the screw and shoulders ofthercap and a crescent shaped projection extended from the reflector andbetween the said shoulders and partially around the screw of that partof the cap which supports the wick tubes.

In the drawings, A, exhibits a glass lamp of ordinary construction, itsmetallic cap be.- ing shown at B. This cap is formed as usual in twoparts, a, o, one of which, viz., b, is an annulus provided with a femalescrew c, and cemented or otherwise fixed to the neck, (Z, of the lamp.The other part or that marked, 61,) is that which supports the wick tubeor tubes, e, c, and is screwed by a male screw, f, into the annulus, b.

C, is a reflector made of metal and with a crescent shaped or forkedprojection, g, ex-

tending from its lower edge as shown in the drawings. It is by means ofsuch projection and the parts of the cap that the reflector can beaffixed to the cap. In accomplishing this latter, the said projection isto be inserted between the shoulders 7L, z', of the parts, a, b. Thishaving been done, the male screw is next to be screwed down upon theprojection while it rests on the annulus. The advantages of this mode ofapplying the reflector are as follows: It does not require any additionto the lamp cap, nor to the body of the lamp. The reflector can bereadily adjusted in any desirable position about the cap andparticularly so as to be in front of the wick tubes and the handle, inwhich case, such reflector may be used as a guard to protect the flameof the wicks while the lamp is held by its handle and carried forwardthrough the air.

I do not claim combining a reflector with a lamp, but

I claim- The application of a reflector to a lamp cap, substantially asdescribed, by means of the projection, g, extended from the reflectorand between the shoulders of such cap and held in place by the action ofthe screws thereof as explained.
